SKINS Ignite A400 Long Tight - Optimum Performance

The Ignite Long Tights are constructed using five different technical fabrics and 24 individual panels. These panels follow the natural lines of your muscles and tendons with the seams placed to act as anchor points, offering focused support and stability to major muscle groups.

The SKINS Ignite Long Tights also feature A-Seams, which are up to 30% stronger than standard stitching making your SKINS even more durable than before and a perfect addition to your training kit!

To top it off SKINS have included Adaptive Technology to take care of temperature control and moisture management. When it’s cool, the unique polymer binds moisture in to keep you feeling warm. Then when you heat up it releases stored moisture to the surface where it can evaporate, helping your body cool down. How cool’s that!

Why choose SKINS compression?

SKINS are unique in their combination of features which work better than any single component. The key is in SKINS’ revolutionary Dynamic Gradient Compression Technology and other attributes that are carefully built into every SKINS garment.

Research conducted on the functional parameters and innovative design of SKINS is unrivalled in the sports compression industry. To date, there have been many studies published on the benefits of wearing SKINS – more than any other compression brand on the market.

SKINS compression has been scientifically proven to improve endurance, increase power, and facilitate recovery. This is because compression can increase blood flow, improve running economy, increase muscle oxygenation, and has been linked with improved, muscle support, a decrease in muscle vibration, and increased proprioception.

The benefits of compression apply to endurance and team sports as well as recovery post exercise. They also help to reduce leg swelling and the risk of DVT during long haul travel. You just need to make sure they fit properly to get the benefits!

Dynamic Gradient Compression:

SKINS 400 Series is the only high performance apparel to take into account compression levels needed to increase oxygen delivery to active muscles while in motion. SKINS call this dynamic gradient compression.

Working with the scientific and industrial research organisation in Australia to develop a device capable of taking multiple readings of the human body in motion. SKINS hooked up athletes and for the first time ever and were able to accurately measure compression on muscles in motion – as they change shape with increased levels of oxygen-fuelled blood pumping through them.

This is revolutionary stuff – all previous compression measurements have been carried out on athletes standing still.

SKINS now understand what compression levels are required for specific muscle groups whilst static, during activity and in post exercise recovery. They know where you need movement for comfort and injury prevention, and how to get the best circulatory benefits for more oxygen delivery and reduced lactic acid build-up.

Their unique and proprietary knowledge is built into their products. So you can go out, tear up the ground and rip a hole in your personal best. Shred the competition and go back for more.

About the SKINS brand

In 1996, an Australian skier had a bold ambition – to feel ten years younger so he could ski all day, party all night and be ready the next morning do it all again.

His starting point was the knowledge that improved blood circulation would supply more oxygen to his muscles, helping them work harder for longer and recover faster. So he consulted with NASA and other experts to confirm he was on to something. Turns out he was.

Soon word got out that there were these things called SKINS that improved your power, speed, stamina and recovery. Pro athletes were the first to start wearing them. Before long, amateur athletes joined the party.

Second SkinHaving used a variety of so called compression leggings and tops over the year, I've never found one that truly did everything it claimed to do. Step forward Skins with the Ignite A400. The fit is compressive but still allows for a full range of movement thanks to the numerous technical panels. Using these in the Spring, I was running in both cold and moderately warm temps and in each case, it either kept me warm or cool allowing me to run further. Personally the blue option is a great addition to the skins range being as itll go with a wider range of kits.
I will certainly be looking to add the shorts to my summer kit bag!

great compression leggingI'm training for London marathon so i've been using these tights for all forms of running and gym work. The technical properties are fantastic - good fabric, fit, range of motion. They are not very warm so dont think they'll make a good winter tight because they wont. You'll need to check out the thermal version for winter use.
They are good however to use in the gym for strength and conditioning work. I've also used them after a workout to benefit from compression clothing after exercise. I think they make a real difference to my running - im a big fan.
